A question re OCS for those of you more versed in the rules than me.

We had an inter club race yesterday with some 40 boats on the line. Due to the geography the line was rather shorter than desirable.
At the start, I thought a few boats were OCS, but the RO did not fly Flag X nor 1st Sub. However I am given to understand that they subsequently reviewed a video of the start and then, in the published results, declared seven boats OCS. Although I wasn't one of them, I don't think that is acceptable. Am I right?
